COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONWhen Germany meets America. Brewed with typical German lager technique using German malts, American aroma hops (Cascade) and German bittering hops, since March 10th 2012.
Name is combination of GER-many and amer-ICA.

Keg at FOB, Rimini. It pours an amber/gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is earthy and grassy. Taste has nuts with some smoke and alcohol. Light bodied with good carbonation. Overall, decently tasty

(Keg) 330 ml on tap at Il Maltese. Dark gold/light ruby, slightly hazy, with an average and persistent off white head. On the nose sweet malts, wet hay and plenty of resinous and almost balsamic. Perhaps more astringent than usual, but not at all in a bad way. Perfectly dry, slightly juicy, spot on level of bitterness. Lingering fruity and hoppy taste, with just a hint of toffee/caramel presence in the background and a jam/marmelade feeling as well. Decently refreshing and thirst quenching. Average carbonation, light to medium body, creamy texture. Good.

My Bottom Line:
Delicately honeyed and biscuity malts are ably enhanced by floral and resinous hops in this polished New World Lager.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the shiny dark golden.
-Drinkability on this one is enormous. Mouthfeel is lean and the prickling soft.
-The aroma could be better developed.
-This is as well malted as it is well hopped.
-Flavor definition is very high. Crystal clear execution here.
-This is very much in the same philosophy (and quality of execution) as many of Jack’s Abby’s beers in Massachusetts.
